As far as comicbook movies go, I honestly have to say this by far one of the best I've seen. It's quite haunting. The movie gets you involved in these characters' lives, that you can come to understand and feel for their dilemas'. At first due to Heaths' Ledgers death I was reluctant to see the movie, but his performance as the Joker was so captivating that it made you forget of his tragedy if only for a moment. Everybodys' performance was just great, and with all the special effects such as Batman flying through the air from one building to the next was just enthralling. My applauds to the writers and director a very fine film.
